Barriers to Buprenorphine Expansion in Ohio
Buprenorphine partial opioid agonist pharmacotherapy, a key treatment for opioid use disorders (OUDs), is underutilized in the United States. Qualitative interviews, conducted in 2012/2013 and repeated in 2015, identified systemic barriers to providing buprenorphine treatment in Ohio. A representative sample of Ohio's Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Services (ADAMHS) county boards ( n = 18) was selected based on percentage of OUD admissions…

Accelerated HIV testing for PMTCT in maternity and labour wards is vital to capture mothers at a critical point in the programme at district level in Malawi
Round the clock (24 hours×7 days) HIV testing is vital to maintain a high prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) coverage for women delivering in district health facilities. PMTCT coverage increases when most of the pregnant women will have their HIV status tested. Therefore routine offering of HIV testing should be integrated and seen as a part of comprehensive antenatal care. For women who miss antenatal care and deliver in a health…

Involuntary Commitment by Relatives
Author: Maureen Fitzgerald, University of Sydney, [email protected] Goal. To interview people who have been committed involuntarily by a family member to a psychiatric hospital to better understand their needs and feelings and those of the family members and clinicians involved. Scientific and ethical justification. To protect the individual and others from harm, it is sometimes necessary to admit people to a psychiatric hospital for ca…
Object or Person
The article examines the fundamental theory behind being a person rather than an object. In support of their argument they draw on Plato, Foucault and Descartes, as well as data gathered using an ethnographic approach in a village in Scotland.
Carotenoid content of pandanus fruit cultivars and other foods of the Republic of Kiribati
Background Kiribati, a remote atoll island country of the Pacific, has serious problems of vitamin A deficiency (VAD). Thus, it is important to identify locally grown acceptable foods that might be promoted to alleviate this problem. Pandanus fruit ( Pandanus tectorius ) is a well-liked indigenous Kiribati food with many cultivars that have orange/yellow flesh, indicative of carotenoid content. Few have been previously analysed. Aim This study wa…
If Ethics Committees were Designed for Ethnography
WHERE DID THE ETHICS REVIEW PROCESS go wrong for qualitative research, and how can we make it right, or at least better? This paper begins with an excerpt from an ethnography of attempting to attend an ethics review-related workshop, which exemplifies that the ethics-review process is based on epistemological assumptions aligned with positivistic research, and does not fit the qualitative research process. We suggest that a new format for ethics …
The Ethics-Review Process
Vitamin A Intake and Factors Influencing it Amongst Children and Caretakers in Kosrae, Micronesia
A cross-sectional study was undertaken in Kosrae, Federated States of Micronesia to assess preschool children and caretaker dietary intake of vitamin A (VA) (including provitamin A carotenoids) and other nutrients contributing to VA status and to investigate relationships between VA intake and factors affecting dietary intake. Ethnography, food sample analysis, two dietary assessment methods (7-day food frequency questionnaire and quantitative 24…
Punctuated Equilibrium, Moral Panics and the Ethics Review Process
Doubling the Cloak of (In)Competence in Client/Therapist Interactions
Cultural competence is used (often implicitly) to make decisions in human service settings. When therapists make decisions about whether or not a particular service will be offered, they place themselves in a position where their own competence can be judged. Using narrative data on independence and the elderly, we apply Edgerton's idea of the cloak of competence to demonstrate this doubling effect
Insights on food and nutrition in the Federated States of Micronesia
Background: Nutrition-related disorders, including vitamin A deficiency (VAD) and chronic diseases, are serious problems in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Many suggest that these disorders are new problems related to dietary and lifestyle changes. In the past four decades, imported foods, such as white rice, flour, sugar, refined foods and fatty meats, have increasingly replaced local foods in the diet. Aim: A literature review was con…

The changing world of HIV care
Recent advances in treatment have improved the health of many people living with HIV/AIDS. The research described in this paper shows that the changing context of care is also impacting significantly on people who provide services. In this paper, we explore both perspectives by comparing recent service provider data with that derived from research involving people living with HIV/AIDS. We explore four themes: (1) hope and optimism; (2) changing c…
Barriers to Participation in Residual Rural Labour Markets
Structural change in rural areas has led to a differentiation in the ranges of experience of rural life. Within generally prosperous localities, some individuals may be unable to achieve what is widely accepted as an adequate standard of living. This article focuses on the barriers that individuals face with respect to participation in residual local labour markets in rural areas. A variety of factors influence capacity to participate. Empirical …

Looking beyond the optimism surrounding new treatments
The past few years have seen many changes in the care of people living with HIV/AIDS, mainly due to the introduction of combination treatments in mid 1996. This paper discusses findings from research undertaken at Royal North Shore Hospital with HIV service providers and clients to explore the impact of these changes. Analysis highlights themes of compliance and choice, changing models of care, reinvention of life, and hope. This research suggest…

The hidden disability dilemma for the preservation of self
Oliver Sacks’ work focuses our attention on the use of narrative and the issue of the “preservation of self.” Chronic illness and acquired disabilities require a reappraisal of one's concept of self and often result not only in a modification of self concept but modifications of one's self narrative and occupational behaviours as well as strategies for the preservation of the emotional and physical self. Hidden disabilities, those not easily disc…

Selective migration from Samoa
In 1981 extensive questionnaire and interview data were collected on some 100 young Samoan adults. Five years later in 1986 we determined their whereabouts and divided the data in accordance with migration status. The answers of the 35 who had migrated in the intervening period were contrasted to those 65 who remained in Samoa. The migrants differed in several distinct areas. Migrants reported a higher degree of peer-reliance as a personal adapti…

The interplay of culture and symptoms
Menstrual symptomatology has received much attention in recent years but little attention has been given to the interplay of culture with these symptoms. Interview data from male and female Samoans in rural Western Samoa, rapidly modernizing American Samoa, and modern Hawaii are used to explore the role of culture and culture change in explaining variations in reports of menstrual symptomatology and menstrual distress. I suggest that culture play…

Is lactation nature's contraceptive? Data from Samoa
Data from a Samoan menstruation study suggest that lactation, even intensive on-demand lactation, does not inhibit menstruation or conception. This paper explores the applied and theoretical implications of continuing to accept lactation as a universally effective fertility control mechanism. Such thinking can have disastrous implications for family planning programs, and it keeps us from challenging long-held assumptions about lactation's role i…
